Syfy, the popular cable science fiction channel has announced that it is merging its two iOS apps into one Syfy Now Universal app that includes a complete redesign and more access to a greater amount of content.
The app allows users to watch full episodes of Syfy programs and makes new episodes available the day after they air, and also syncs watch lists and in-show progress across multiple devices via iCloud. Social media sharing is also enabled in this update, as users are given the ability to share episode information directly to social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
From the Syfy Now App Store page:
Syfy Now is your destination for full episodes of your favorite Syfy shows, including new episodes available the day after they air for most programs. Once you open the app, log in with your cable or satellite provider account to gain access to the currently available episodes. The same app works on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – you can even sync your watchlist and in-show progress across multiple devices via iCloud.
The app will allow you full viewing of Syfy content if you’re a customer of 11 cable and satellite providers, and Syfy says more are on the way. If your provider isn’t currently compatible, you can still view select full episodes and clips from Syfy shows, as well as additional content such as original online series.
Syfy Now is available FREE as a Universal app in the App Store. [DIRECT LINK]
